If there is an external cost of $3, what is the efficient quantity?
If there is an external benefit of $3, what is the efficient quantity?
For the remaining questions assume that there is a $3 external COST.
If the government wants to get the efficient quantity with a per/unit tax, how much should the tax be?
Now imagine that they use tradable allowances. If they cap the quantity at 400 what would the value of these allowance be in the market? (Assume the market is

Outline the steps that you could have gone through in your investment decision, citing possible reasons or factors why you could have decided to invest in the Zambia sovereign bond. ii. Evaluate, using common bond performance measures, how your bond investment has performed from issue to-date. iii. What is your current position, given the debt restructuring deal?

- Parks confer many external benefits on society: open space, trees that reduce pollution, and so on. Therefore, the market equilibrium quantity of parks is not equal to the socially optimal quantity. The following graph shows the demand for parks (their private value), the supply of parks (the private cost of producing them), and the social value of parks, including both the private value and external benefits. Use the black point (plus symbol) to indicate the market equilibrium quantity. Next, use the purple point (diamond symbol) to indicate the socially optimal quantity.arrow_forwardExternalities - Definition and examples An externality arises when a firm or person engages in an activity that affects the wellbeing of a third party, yet neither pays nor receives any compensation for that effect. If the impact on the third party is adverse, it is called a ___________ externality. The following graph shows the demand and supply curves for a good with this type of externality. The dashed drop lines on the graph reflect the market equilibrium price and quantity for this good.arrow_forwardAcres Sophia Amber Cedric 1 $12 $24 $6 2 8 18 3 10 4 3 8 3 1 6. 2 6 4 1 7 2 Consider the town of Springfield with only three residents, Sophia, Amber, and Cedric (see the Table). The three residents are trying to determine how large, in acres, they should build the public park. Suppose the cost to build the park is $12 per acre and that the residents have agreed to split the cost of building the park equally. If the residents vote to determine the size of park to builo basing their decision solely on their own willingness to pay (and trying to maximize their own surplus), what is the largest park size for which the majority of residents would vote "yes?" 1 acre 2 acres 3 acres 4 acresarrow_forward
